Abstract: The present invention provides a one-way clutch in which spring force of tongue pieces of a spring will not be decreased, even in case where a larger tightening margin is provided between a cage and an outer race, but proper spring force can be maintained thereby to attain reliable synchronization between the outer race and the cage, and a rise of cost will not be incurred. The one-way clutch includes a cage (3), a spring (4) arranged along an inner diameter side of the cage, and a sprag assembly. Each of sprags (5) is inserted into pockets of the spring and cage, respectively. One end of the spring is overlapped with the other end at a position where the largest repulsive force is exerted from the cage. Thereby, rigidity of the spring is increased in a part of the spring corresponding to the position.

IPC: G10H1/00
Filed: 2003-03-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a optical disk reproducing apparatus capable of providing special reproducing (replay) mode usinga jog dial in a manner similar to the special reproduction using an analog record player such as scratching etc. 
     When the operation disk is rotating at a same predetermined speed as the rotation speed of the disk, the normal reproducing (replay) is performed. The special reproducing (replay) such as scratching is performed when the operation disk is turned, and the turning speed and direction of the operation disk are detected. Since the disk keeps rotating at the predetermined speed, the operation disk restart the rotation at the predetermined speed immediately after the operation of the operation disk is terminated so as to resume the normal reproducing (replay).

Abstract: A colour wheel for a sequential colour display is suggested, which has primary colour filter segments (R, G, B) and at least one secondary colour filter segment (C, M, Y). A driving scheme for the inventive colour wheel as well as for known colour wheels reduces the colour separation by temporally locating the light pulses required for generating a desired colour as close together as possible. In one embodiment, the pulse length increases in a direction away from a transition between a secondary colour filter and a corresponding complementary primary colour filter for light pulses of the respective colours. A driving circuit extracts driving signals for primary and secondary colours from primary colour input signals. The driving circuit further compares the driving signals with predetermined limiting values for preventing clipping.
